The county and the state kept moving the goalposts.

The word that I got a couple of years ago was that they didn't have the funding required to complete the project. My source was questionable, so I'm not sure. I think they purchased the property but again, I'm not sure.

That was my understanding as well.
That property is an eye sore for the county. There was a homeless guy living there at one time in the concrete drainage pipe. People dumping trash and there’s even an abandoned boat there now. Why does the county allow that site to continue to be poorly maintained? They need to do something with it….it’s a dump literally!

I believe that property belongs to Parlett now. I also heard that there was some type of problem with money. Yes the county and state were asking for all kinds of things from potential developers as far as turn lanes curbs sidewalks. It is getting to be a eyesore and after they cleared that land off, the creek that starts on that property that's runs across Charlotte Hall Rd and into the woods then past the Three Notch Trail and into Melody Acres I believe has caused that creek to overflow onto Handel Dr. at both locations where it crosses the road 2 different times. Ive lived back there for over 40yrs and until that land was cleared we never had a problem with the road flooding.

Well shouldn't developers be responsible for turn lanes, curbs, and sidewalks? They are building up the place adding to any future State/County road congestion. The State, or County, is only responsible for travel roads that would allow exit/entrance leaving the developer to connect their own feeder entrance/exit road to the State/County primary road. That not too much ask. The developers own the property, unless of course they cede property via a permanent right of way or transfer said necessary land for roads into their center to the State or County. And that won't happen.

Looks good, but seriously this isn't Instagram. Why do we need pictures of what you (or you son) are eating all the time?

The developers/owners did indeed add rights of way to the property, including a turn lane from Northbound Route 5. I think those of us in the area thought this was a positive development and that construction would be underway shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, that was not the case. There was indeed a homeless man living on the land this past summer and there is a boat there now! Both situations were/are untenable. Hopefully, the land will be used as intended or sold to someone who has the necessary funding to complete a project...but please no more strip mall type stores.

Yes they should be the ones picking up the check for necessary road improvements. The one thing that chased off one of the plans, was I believe a Giant was looking at the site for a store and wanted to put a redlight in at the Burger King crossover the state said no. They said you could widen the small little stretch of Golden Beach rd. to more lanes.

It is unfortunate that the dollar menu is still the best food you can find here in Leonardtown. And while I appreciate your attempt to give me a pet name, we ain't that close, so you can keep using that one for your significant other.
